Overview

Complete loop from recognizing a supply need through ordering from vendors and receiving materials into the facility. Spans the Order Queue (collecting Kanban Cards in REQUESTING state) and Purchase Orders (consolidating demand into vendor commitments); tightly coupled to the Kanban Card state machine (REQUESTING → REQUESTED → IN_PROCESS → FULFILLED). Canonical domain reference: Procurement (PRO).

Linear

• Initiative: Product / Procurement

Designed — build pending

• Orders — The redesigned, durable, lifecycle-managed Order that collates production demand, commits to a single supplier, and reconciles receipts. This is the target design under team review; see the Orders with Lifecycle project.

Current system (Q2 2026)

What ships today, until the redesign above is built:

• Order Queue — Staging area for pending procurement demand signals
• Purchase Orders (Q2 2026) — The client-side purchase-order sheet and its supporting /v1/order API, issued from the Order Queue
